got a question for you guys, I'm getting tattooed next week, I'm getting sleeved off and doing some cover up on my right arm. I will be finished up my diet cycle next week as well. here's my concern..I will get tattooed very 2 weeks for the next 6-8 weeks. The sessions are 3 -5 hours each..OUCH! anyhow..as you know, my arm will be in no shape to train for at least..in my opinion, 4-5 days. and even when I can..I won't be able to do much.
I have no idea what to do training wise and diet wise to maintain myself during this period..looking for serious replies, thanx. presently..I"m 6'1". 35 years old. train 5 day split. very lean now..well for me, I'm below 10% BF. When I'm dry..I'm 210lbs. when I'm full after eating a normal diet..I sit at around 220lbs. |

A buddy of mine did a whole samoan tribal piece on his trap down to his arm, and he had no problem keeping up in the gym, but you know those samoans are built like beasts though. I would just keep it wrapped up and hit the weights, if there is excessive bleeding, wait a couple days after each session with the needle

maybe do your upper body on the days before your tatooing, and then the day after you can just bang out legs... so maybe youll have to do a chest/back routine just to help you maintain on the day before you get your tattoo, and then the next day you can bang out quads/hams or whatever.

itll scab up overnite......just apply a nice thick layer of bepanthem cream before going to the gym and you should still be able to work out....its very unlikely thatll bleed or effect your training....

thanx for the replies..yeah, I don't wanna wait any longer to get my cover up done. Besides, even if I wait..the situation will never be different, I am always training, so, I'll never be comfortable taking more than a week off at one time.
